DÍA DE LOS MUERTOS ON THE BAY | Lucha Libre+Banda

A Day of the Dead show on Treasure Island that pairs lucha libre, the Mexican masked wrestling tradition, with banda, the brass-led popular music of Mexico, at Gold Bar Distillery.

Día de los Muertos on the Bay combines two Mexican traditions in one outing: lucha libre, the form of professional wrestling in which performers wear masks, and banda, the popular music of Mexico built around brass instruments. The title places the program under the Day of the Dead holiday, which honors deceased loved ones, and joins the wrestling with banda performances.

The outing takes place at Gold Bar Distillery on Treasure Island, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in San Francisco. It is a fit for groups of friends and for visitors who want a themed outing that blends wrestling entertainment with live music, rather than a standard theater or club program.

Lucha libre and banda are both rooted in Mexican popular culture, so the show suits anyone curious about those traditions, whether they are attending with friends or on a short trip to the city.
